which means that the company initially was not interested in looking at your resume, but as soon as they were red flagged, quickly decided to contact you

if everyone has to resort to this, whats the use of the Jobs bank. It shows a lack on sincerity from the hiring companies, they do not bother to look at local's resume through the jobs bank unless there is someone putting pressure on them

btw I too have applied for quite a number of jobs and all of them are in the "new" status. Meaning that the company has not even bothered to look at them (exceeding 2 weeks), mind you this is for quite a few different companies

There is something seriously wrong going on
